the street inhales shadows
an impish moon
made for backseat lovers
ahhh . . . your sweet, sweet love
you thought it'd
n'er get here
backseat lovers
whispering endearments
readily accepted in the heat of the moment
singing into her eyes
as ancient cypress trees
remember the ephemeral winds
you speak of the heart
as she rides the unicorn
you offer the mad hatters dream

Wow! You recalled that like it was yesterday!
You captured that with all the fresh excitement and discovery of young love. Excellent my friend!

I hated it when one of our "footsies" wound up entangled in a seat belt . . . at least we laughed with the moving of the "spirit"...

cool, my friend...

Your sweet memories bring smiles ... and well, here in Italy there was that little Fiat 500 and to "adults" it seemed simply impossible to "perform" any kind of dance in that small space, but young lovers know better ...

Great flashback, Jerry!

Lovely writing!
Alas, I've got only a bike - impossible to get such experience.
But then...
I've got my imagination )

First response was a audible chuckle...
But oh brother, what problems those backseats could have spawned, so to speak...


Enjoyed the read, Jerry!

Yeah remember those days too and guess, since I'm only a few years behind you, I guess my backseat "stuff" lasted a little longer than yours (LOL)

Don't know why you'd even assume that --- anyway, 'nuff said on this thread...

See ya,
